Beaucoup d'action dans ce roman où les « méchants » jouent au chat et à la souris avec la « victime » (Drew Simmons) et l'enquêteur lui servant de garde du corps. Même si l'issue de l'histoire d'amour entre les deux principaux personnages est assez prévisible, les nombreux rebondissements de l'intrigue tiennent en haleine.

He considered it, then shook his head. “It’s more than that. It’s the evil in all of us that can’t join the Universal Good, so it remains earthbound. Traditionalist Navajos believe those spirits have nowhere to go, so they stick around and create problems for the living. (…)”
“I always thought my father had made my mother’s life a hell on earth,” she whispered. “I saw Dad as a man who was married to his work—and Mom took the leftovers. But I was wrong about them. The truth is right there in those old photos. There’s a lot more to my mom and dad’s story than I ever realized.”
“Navajo men are taught to enter a room before a woman does. I know Anglo men have the opposite custom—ladies first—but we look at it a little differently. If there’s danger, the man should be the one to face it, instead of sending the woman ahead as cannon fodder.”
She was starting to suspect that, although he WANTED to be the type of man who only believed in what he could see and touch, there was another equally strong side of him that hoped there was more to life than that.
